From academic research in biotechnology to industry
For many researchers in biotechnology, the move to industry raises practical questions. What changes day to day? Which skills matter most? And what helps make the transition smoother in practice? In an interview with GSO, Moritz Bross shares his experience of moving from academic research into Industrial Biotechnology at BASF. He reflects on which skills proved essential beyond the university setting, how networking supported his transition, and why structured work environments became an important factor for him. He also discusses how his industry experience reshaped his view on academic career paths and long-term impact.
